No way Felix is 3.2. Jones and Scott (1990) had it at 3.2, but more recent
data show it to be significantly higher. Kainsaz is a solid 3.2, and all
properties of Felix show it to be more equilibrated than Kainsaz. Data on
TL (Sears) and on amoeboid olivine inclusions (Chizmadia) show Felix to be
more like 3.3-3.4. My own studies of matrix in CO's support 3.4 for
Felix. So, call it 3.3/3.4.
